Arsenal Transfer News: Theo Walcott Waiting On Juventus Free Transfer
Arsenal and England's Theo Walcott could quit The Gunners in January and sign a pre-contract agreement to join Juventus on a free transfer.
SunSport. The newspaper reports that Walcott is waiting to see if Arsenal superstar Robin Van Persie agrees a contract extension at the Emirates before he commits his future to the club. Walcott, like Van Perise, has just one year left to run on his current deal at Arsenal and with Italian Champions Juventus desperate to land both players, Walcott is ready to play the waiting game this summer to see how the future of his Gunners colleague develops. A SunSport source said:
It seems unbelievable the club has left it until well into the last year of the contracts and still not managed to get either player sorted.Juventus chief Pavel Nedved has signalled Walcott and Van Persie as part of a bigger plan to challenge for European glory again. SunSport however say Real Madrid, Manchester City and Chelsea are also willing to break the bank to bring 29-year-old Van Persie to their respective clubs. Both Walcott and Van Persie are currently at the Euro 2012 championships and are expected to start their final group stage games.
